I've been fooling with my MM/1 serial port trying to get my coco to act as a
terminal. I have a Disto RS-232 in the CoCo and am using t0 on the mm/1. But I
can't seem to establish a link. I've tried login, but no go. Using sterm on the
coco I can start a shell on the mm/1 (shell >>/t0) and I can type commands on
the coco and have them executed on the mm/1, but the mm/1 will not echo
anythink back to the coco. If I run sterm on the mm/1 I can list files, etc. to
the coco; but I can't get things back. It seems the port will only operate one
way. At first I thought that there was a hardware problem, but I don't think
so. Is there a secret in setting up the path descriptors on one of the
machines?
